Lo, Michael!

A bright morning on Madison Avenue turns frantic when a baby of a prominent family steps out onto the street, her curly dark hair framed by velvet and roses. Mikky, a lanky boy known for his bundle of papers, spots a hostile figure across the way and, without hesitation, throws himself in front of the child as a gun cracks. His quick, self‑sacrificing act throws the crowd into a bewildered roar, and the street erupts with shouts, flying stones and the screech of a car tangled in the mob’s fury.

In the chaos, the city’s undercurrents of resentment surface: strangers glare at wealth, a bank’s collapse fuels anger, and the sudden violence hints at deeper grievances. As police scramble and the mob swarms the elegant house, Mikky’s bravery becomes a fragile spark of hope amid the turmoil. Listeners are drawn into an urgent, emotionally charged opening that sets the stage for a tale of courage, social clash, and the search for justice.
